Hyun KK, et al. - Researchers analyzed 22 studies (including 4,754,782 patients) identified from PubMed and EMBASE, to investigate if sex disparities exist in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores/risk factors in primary health care. They included clinical trials and observational studies describing the evaluation of CVD risk score, blood pressure (BP), cholesterol or smoking status in primary health care, stratified by sex. In both sexes, a low evaluation of CVD risk score in primary health care was reported despite the guideline recommendations. Compared to men, the evaluation of smoking status was less likely to be performed among women. For BP and cholesterol assessments, findings revealed no sex differences.
